Proto J4707L Hand Socket 7/32 in 1/4 Drive 6-point Chrome

Product Description

The PROTO J4707L is a 6-point standard-length hand socket designed for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications. Built from steel with a chrome finish, it accepts a 1/4 inch drive and fits a 7/32 inch fastener. The 6-point geometry concentrates torque on the flats of the fastener head rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. At 2 inches in overall length and 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight addition to any socket set. Mechanics, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who work with small fasteners in confined spaces will find it straightforward to deploy with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

This socket is suited for general mechanical work, light assembly, and precision fastener applications where a 1/4 inch drive is preferred for torque control and access. Standard-length geometry makes it appropriate for open or semi-open fastener locations where a deep socket is not required. It is not tether capable, so users working at height or in environments with dropped-tool hazards should note this limitation before selecting it for overhead work.

Key Features

• 6-point socket design applies force to fastener flats, reducing corner rounding
• 7/32 inch socket size for precise fitment on small hex fasteners
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and T-handles
• Chrome finish over steel construction resists corrosion in typical shop environments
• Standard length profile at 2 inches overall for general-access fastener locations
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for extended use without hand fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for 1/4 inch drive socket sets used in general mechanical and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with proper torque procedures. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying load to avoid slippage. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is explicitly rated for impact use. This part is not tether capable and should not be used in overhead or elevated work areas where a dropped tool presents a safety hazard.
